St Michael's C of E Primary School.
What did we do?
Competition Winners! Substantial Education Works.
Brass Architecture submitted proposals for an invited competition (a shortlist of architect practices) to upgrade and future proof a prestigious primary school located in the heart of Highgate, North London.
We submitted our thoughts to address the school brief whilst proposing a future proofed school design (for the full redevelopment of the application site).
Our scheme was selected the winner ahead of a number of notable architectural studios.
Our entry tests the concepts of teaching methods applicable to modern schooling; parallel with the overhaul of full site aesthetics, as part of a mooted 20+ year redevelopment plan.
Our design merges new infrastructure with historic listed building fabric.
